Fuel Leak near rear passenger wheel

[Toran]

Hello Good People!

Can someone please help identify this leaking part.
Ya its an old hardline but can't seem to get the car up high enough to follow it farther back.

T.I.A.

if it's the one i'm thinking of it's one of the main lines, should pass into a fuel filter up in that crevasse somewhere. dear god that looks nasty. have those lines been replaced ever? cheap insurance for a car not to go up in flames.

Original lines. Kinda out of site and out of mind till something like this happens.
Having issues finding a part number. Any clue?

Could be #17 or #22, but seem to be 22 witch run on top ,could you take a better pic .You got no choice you'll have to get it up & check can't drive it like that.

Thanks for the visual!
I'll take a better picture in the morning.
Will replace 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23.

Are these specific dealer parts or can they be replaced with other metal lines?
Pelican parts?

Found the leak!

Is there a newer and improved method to repairing/replacing these lines, material, fittings etc?

Are there any temp fixes that can be had at a local store?

[mikepellegrini]

Yeah, there are some good temporary fixes, but none I would use. I've had cars burn up a couple times and gasoline scares me bigtime.

You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? (Apologies to Harry Callahan).

[Toran]

Even Dirty Harry would need a temp fix every now and again.
So you hardcore Porsche fans have simply replaced these fuel lines with OEM parts?

[968 GUY]

Replacing with OEM hardline would be the best soloution, but if you look at the diagram, you can see that some flexible lines and hose clamps were used. The auto parts stores do have hoses rated for fuel, and at a higher pressure. That looks like the supply side, so a fuel hose rated at a higher pressure than the fuel pump might be a good substitute, use good quality clamps that do not cut into the hose.

Just to get a better understanding of the options/objective would one be looking for 8mm and 10mm steel hard line?

What size/type fitting?

[Toran]

Good news... the hard lines have arrived!
Is there a technique for getting the car high enough on jack stands to install these lines?

Go incrementally one side at a time (F/R or Side to Side) and realize the rear suspension carrier weighs a bunch and will significantly alter the balance once lowered for install clearance, depending on what's in the fuel tank for ballast.
